“There can be no outer peace if there is no inner peace. These need to be in balance. But many are not willing to look within, and thus act in an ego driven way. Let us remember that even the policeman acting out and harming others needlessly is also suffering–as is anyone acting out in violence–and we need to understand this and bring compassion in order to stop such harmful behavior at the heart-mind-emotional levels. Nelson Mandela talked about the overdog/underdog principle, in which the hatred of the underdog overthrows the overdog, thus creating a new underdog. This cycle of violence and hatred plays out time and again through history. As Buddha said, ‘The winner sows hatred because the loser suffers; let go of winning and losing and find joy.’ However, political movements aren’t based on mindfulness and meditation and kindness, but on power and winning. We must find other ways to coexist and thrive.”

Rage–whether in reaction to social injustice, or to our leaders’ insanity, or to those who threaten or harm us–is a powerful energy that, with diligent practice, can be transformed into fierce compassion.

“If we unbalance nature, humankind will suffer. Furthermore, as people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility towards others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than when we found it.”
